Yes, not really a petrol smell, just a strong 'fumey' smell. The sort of smell that very quickly makes your clothes smell.
My wife complains & closes doors & windows whilst it ticks over on the drive. She says it 'stinks'
I have looked at the spark plugs that look fine, i'm going to change the HT leads soon, see if that helps.
Edit to add: I only use V power, or at worse 97 octane.

I hope it's not smouldering ! 
I am always impressed Graham with the quality & effort you put into your replies. Ne na ne na ne na... Oh, forgot to say. No, definitely not a burning smell. It's just a strong fume. Shimples.
My engine has only done about 1400 miles since a complete re-build. My feelings are it needs a rolling road session.

I think I'm more a 'visual' person.
I'd have thought bad smells were more likely to be down to exhaust leaks or something getting overheated though... can't think why engine tune would affect things; running rich, possibly.
Yes, rolling road it though please, then we can all see some power figures at YOUR expense...and you might even find the dead rat someone's shoved up the exhaust.
